Ing. Dr. Emmanuel Obuobie is a Principal Research Scientist (Hydrology/climate) at the Water Research Institute of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (Ghana). He holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Agricultural Engineering (2001) from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (Ghana), Master of Science Degree in Soil and Water (2003) from Wageningen University (The Netherlands) and PhD in Natural Science (2008) from the University of Bonn (Germany).
Emmanuel has wealth of experience and expertise in hydrology and water resources modelling, climate data analysis and statistical downscaling, climate change adaptation, groundwater resource assessment and recharge estimation, soil and water conservation, and irrigation. He has supervised and examined many post-graduate students at both masters and PhD levels, from Universities within and outside of Ghana.
He has won numerous research grants, either as the PI or Co-I, including grants from the Denmark Ministry of foreign Affairs/DFC; UK Research Councils; African Union; German Federal Ministry of Environment, Nuclear, Building and Nature; World Bank; and CGIAR-Challenge Programme for Water and Food. Emmanuel has consulted for many international organizations including UNDP, UNOPS, UNEP, and IWMI for over a decade in more than 21 African Countries.
He has served in various capacities on a number of national technical committees including the ODINAFRICA Marine and Coastal Atlas Development Committee, as a member and leader of the climate scenario sub-committee. Emmanuel has published 20 peer reviewed journal articles, most of which were published in international journals including Theoretical and Applied Climatology, Hydrological Sciences Journal, Hydrology, and International Journal of River Basin Management; 2 refereed books; and 10 refereed book chapters.

Current Research
Emmanuel Obuobie is a Senior Research Scientist in Hydrology and Climate. His works are centred on (i) climate change impact modelling on water resources and ecosystems for adaptation in river basin context, and (ii) reduction and management of natural disaster risks, particularly flood risk.
His research on climate change adaptation focuses on development and applications of climate and hydrological products, innovative decision support tools, and integrated modelling frameworks, to support the planning and implementation of water and ecosystem based adaptation.
The scope covers evaluation and comparison of satellite-based climate products, statistical downscaling and bias-correction of global and regional climate projections (climate scenarios), simulating the impacts of climate change on ecosystem benefits, surface- (water, sediment & nutrients) and ground-water hydrology, and testing of water and ecosystem based interventions to understand their potential to enhance resilience of river basins.
A substantial focus of this research is dedicated to development and testing of methodologies for integrating climate change scenarios, together with other development drivers such as the shared socio-economy pathways (SSPs) and land-use/-cover change, into basin water resources planning and management.
Emmanuel’s research on disaster risk reduction hinges on flood simulation, flood frequency and risk analysis, and flood impacts under climate change and urbanization considerations. His research is supported by the UK Research Councils, Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Danida Fellowship Centre, World Bank, and the African Union/European Union.
